It may have taken a few hours and a few hundreds miles but the aroma from Clayton's plate just hit me wirelessly!

  You and Steven should not be showing me pictures of food............
 
I had breakfast but I am hungry now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 
Breakfast. I knew I was forgetting something today!
 
I need one of those cables to, but then banana plug to mini xlr. Clayton, unless you want to blow your speakers on the HD650 or play it extremely loud, I wouldn't hook them up on the speaker out

I have a couple of these cables for my AKG K1000, they are called pig tails.
 
I wouldn't use them for any other headphone but the K1000.

I've had mine leashed to more than the Aleph running the HE-6, but I have yet to test the T1 using them.
 
Sounds like a plan for tomorrow.

But... it is tomorrow.

 We wanna know. And granted, I watch the volume but yeah, I routinely push through 265 watts per channel!

The resistors is to protect you from yourself. Without the resistors there is nothing stopping you
from turning the volume up and blowing your headphones.
I suppose if you have self control you can hook the headphones up direct it will sound better. But if
you leave the volume turned up and feed signal into the amp. Buy buy headphones and maybe your ears.
Plus on a tube amp with a output transformer it should have the proper load or the output transformer can arc over.

Absolutely. I use resistors on the tube monos. It is the big bad solid state Sansui G-22000 I'm running naked @ 265wpc. However, I watch the volume and the volume control knob has an inner lock ring one can set to not accidentally exceed. Additionally, when I power-on I always make sure the volume is at zero and cans unplugged.
 
That said, once everything is proper, yum-o!
